Cystopexy: Understanding the Procedure for Bladder Prolapse

The term "cystopexy" refers to a surgical procedure aimed at correcting the downward displacement or prolapse of the urinary bladder. Bladder prolapse occurs when the muscles and ligaments supporting the bladder weaken, causing it to descend from its normal position. This condition can lead to various urinary symptoms, including incontinence, difficulty urinating, and recurrent urinary tract infections.
